Chapter 248 The Truth-Seeking Wood Fruit on the Corpse
Is it the Yaoyue Patriarch?
Zhou Lu was horrified.
Even in the age of immortals, he was one of the strongest immortals.
Didn't they say that the Yaoyue Patriarch had been killed by the beastmaster?
Right...
Zhou Lu quickly calmed down.
He knew very well that if the other party was really the legendary Yaoyue Patriarch, he could not change the outcome of death even if he was panicking now.
It would be better to believe in the history book for once.
Thinking of this, he walked boldly in front of the body.
The other party did not react at all.
After walking in front, Zhou Lu squatted down to check it out, and then said with certainty: "It looks like a corpse..."
Zhou Lu was about to ask Yueya beside him, but found that Yueya had disappeared.
Turning around, he saw that this guy had fainted on the spot.
No... You are a quasi-god at least, right? You fainted because of a figure. Are you too timid?
Zhou Lu gave Hua Huo a look.
Xiao Caocao took out various props from his tail very slickly.
"Don't kill me--!!!"
Accompanied by a horrifying scream, Yueya jumped up from the ground and then crashed directly into the wall.
If it weren't for its special physique as a little spiritual cloud, it would probably have fainted.
After a dizzy spell, Yueya realized that Zhou Lu was looking at it speechlessly.
Since Zhou Lu was fine, it meant that the person sitting there was at least not the living Yaoyue Patriarch.
"Fuck, I'm scared to death." Yueya panted repeatedly.
Obviously, it hasn't recovered from the shock just now.
"Is it so scary?" Although Zhou Lu was also scared just now, he was not as scared as Yueya.
"The more you know, the more afraid you will be." Yueya said directly, "Even ordinary divine beasts have no ability to resist this kind of existence, let alone me."
As it said this, no matter how much Zhou Lu requested, he didn't dare to go forward to check the other party's body.
Zhou Lu had no choice but to check it himself.
The owner of this body is probably really Yaoyue Patriarch.
Zhou Lu could clearly feel the abundant energy in this body.
Even though it had dissipated for more than a thousand years, it was still terrifying energy, which was enough to show how powerful this body's vitality was.
The Yaoyue Patriarch looked very young, and he didn't look like he had lived for tens of thousands of years.
After a check, Zhou Lu thought for a long time and said, "It's a bit strange... How did he die?"
Zhou Lu couldn't see the cause of the other party's death from beginning to end.
Hua Huo seemed to sense the danger of this body, and kept shrinking behind Zhou Lu, looking at the corpse vigilantly.
Although it was also greedy and coveted the energy of those immortals, the little grass was also self-aware.
Hua Huo's intuition told it that if it really ate the fertilizer in front of it, it would be stuffed to death.
Even if Hua Huo really wanted to eat, Zhou Lu would stop it.
The current Hua Huo could be promoted to the fourth-level quasi-god steadily, so there was no need to take this risk.
If there was still the remnant soul of the Yaoyue Patriarch in this body, I couldn't afford the price.
He looked at the surrounding environment.
This is probably the deepest part of the Yaoyue Ruins.
In a sense, this corpse is the rarest harvest.
Zhou Lu himself didn't dare to move.
But if he left like this, what if something happened here in the future, causing the Yaoyue Patriarch to return, wouldn't he become a sinner?
Zhou Lu hesitated a little.
At this moment, a green bud suddenly grew on the corpse in front of him.
He, grew grass.
Zhou Lu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Hua Huo on the side.
Among the people present, only Hua Huo had such ability - and such courage.
But Hua Huo was also very innocent at this time, shaking his leaves repeatedly to show that he definitely didn't do it.
The green bud grew quickly, and a small tree grew in a short time.
Fruits quickly grew on the small tree.
With a girl's soft moan, a little guy crawled out of the fruit: "Don't blame me, Manman, for being cruel! If you want to blame, blame you for seeing something you shouldn't see..."
The girl flapped her transparent wings and was about to speak viciously.
However, the next second, the green vines entangled the other party's body.
Fireworks rolled up the other party and shook it hard two or three times.
Then Xiaocaocao expressed its conclusion to Zhou Lu very confidently: "General Fairy, Master. Shaking it feels exactly like Xiaoxi's."
No... Why can you judge the other party's species in this way?
Zhou Lu complained in his heart.
But he also recognized Huahuo's judgment.
Because almost at the moment when this little fairy girl appeared, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! The host is sensed to contact the general fairy Manman, triggering a new task. ]
[Main task: Kill the general fairy Manman]
[Task content: General Fairy Manman, the seed left by Qiudaomu on the body of the ancestor Yaoyue. It will sprout and grow the moment the other party's body is discovered, and the memory of the discoverer will be erased. It is a rare fairy female warrior with combat power among the general fairies. Later, as Zhou Lu's exclusive general fairy, she hid almost all traces for him and finally completed the layout of destroying the world. 】
[Quest Reward: 3 Beast Tamer Skill Cards of Your Choice]
My exclusive general fairy?
Zhou Lu was also excited when he saw the introduction of this character.
If this is true, then he is the only one in the Beast Taming Era.
You know, no one has ever had the honor to have a dedicated general fairy, even the beastmasters who have signed the cooperation contract with Qiu Daomu.
"Damn it! Damn it! You succeeded in irritating me!"
Hua Huo's completely disrespectful behavior probably really angered this said powerful general fairy, and she was very angry.
Manman tried to hit Hua Huo hard, and she flew towards Hua Huo with her teeth and claws bared.
Pah.
Hua Huo knocked Manman to the ground with a blank face.
Xiao Cao Cao probably thought that the master would be angry because he casually hurt the general fairy again, and he quickly explained to Zhou Lu: "She started it first!"
Zhou Lu looked at a self-selected beastmaster skill card rewarded by the system, and didn't know whether he should reprimand Hua Huo.
However, Hua Huo's blow was not too heavy.
Manman was unconscious for three minutes before slowly waking up.
"So you are my mother's friends." She rubbed her head and flew up again, "It seems this is a misunderstanding."
Seeing Manman's attitude improve instantly, Zhou Lu knew that she had contacted Qiudaomu.
Originally, the general fairy could directly contact Qiudaomu through the spiritual connection, not to mention that Manman was a general fairy who performed special tasks.
"So, what is the situation?" Zhou Lu looked at the body of the ancestor Yaoyue and asked.
It seemed that because Qiudaomu had already instructed, Manman did not hide it and said directly: "He is too strong, and there is no way to destroy his body for the time being, so he was placed in the depths of this prison, and it is also to prevent the covetousness of certain beings."
"Certain beings?" Zhou Lu muttered to himself.
Manman pointed at Hua Huo and said, "It's similar to its original form. Mother said that guy cooperated with mother's master just to eat those immortals. Later, it became stronger and stronger. Mother's master discovered the problem and began to take precautions."
Cooperation?
An existence similar to Hua Huo's original form?
Combined with Yueya's words about the spirit beast that changed from Meng Yu Hua to Jiu Ming Xian Cao like Hua Huo, Zhou Lu immediately understood.
It seems that the beastmaster's war to destroy the immortals seems to have cooperated with Meng Yu Hua.
At that time, the beastmaster had the intention to eliminate the rule of the immortals, and Meng Yu Hua couldn't find suitable food because it had eaten all the Jiu Ming Xian Cao, so it looked at the strongest group in this world.
The two sides hit it off.
Zhou Lu guessed in his heart and asked, "So, did your mother say what to do with this body now?"
He was actually a little greedy.
The current Hua Huo definitely can't eat such a powerful existence.
But this doesn't mean that the quasi-god Hua Huo can't do it.
If the quasi-god can't do it, then the real god.
Hua Huo is also the Nine-Life Immortal Grass transformed by Meng Yuhua, so there is no reason why she is inferior to others.
Speaking of this, Manman showed a hint of doubt: "Mother said that you can dispose of this body as you wish..."
Qiu Dao Mu has always attached great importance to the body of the ancestor Yao Yue.
Otherwise, it would not let Manman guard here.
As one of the few general-minded fairies who inherited the combat power of her mother, Manman, the descendant of the true god, is actually not weak.
What's more, it has special skills at almost the rule level.
But now, the mother let the man in front of her deal with the things that she has guarded for thousands of years at will, and Manman's heart is still a little difficult to accept.
No, what right does this man have?
Manman thought so, and couldn't help but start to examine Zhou Lu.
"I say, you and mother don't have any special relationship, right?"
It pondered for a long time, and the first sentence it said scared Zhou Lu.
No! How can there be a special relationship!
Don't spread rumors!
I'll sue you for defamation!
When Hua Huo heard Manman's words, the whole plant stood up quickly.
If it was the old one, it would have grabbed Manman by now, and then shook him back and forth, asking him to tell the details.
"Are you the beastmaster that my mother selected?" Manman continued.
Huahuo's eyes became more alert.
Zhou Lu explained speechlessly.
"Ordinary relationship? But that doesn't make sense!" Manman was puzzled.
But soon she gave up thinking, waved her hand at Zhou Lu, and said: "Since my mother said you can do whatever you want, then you can do whatever you want. In this way, my mission is completed."
Your mission is completed?
That won't work! It was agreed that you would become my exclusive general fairy?
Zhou Lu didn't want to miss this good opportunity to get a general fairy for free.
"I can't use it right away." Zhou Lu stared at Manman and said, "I think you should continue to protect it until I use it."
"Ah... continue to protect it?" Manman looked at the old ancestor Yaoyue and said, "It's not impossible..."
Manman was still a little hesitant, thinking about consulting her mother.
Or ask for the opinions of other sisters who have seen through the nature of human beings.
But Zhou Lu didn't intend to give Manman a chance to think, and directly brought out the Qiudao Wood.
Manman has always been very afraid of her mother.
After being shaken by Zhou Lu, she was really fooled by Zhou Lu.
She promised to stay by Zhou Lu's side and help him deal with some things that a general fairy should deal with until Zhou Lu finished dealing with the corpse.
"But I can only provide you with a channel to buy." Manman was also frank about this, "You don't need to expect me to match you with any skill set, I'm not good at this."
Zhou Lu fully understood this.
After fooling Manman, Zhou Lu also began to deal with the corpse in front of him.
Although it always feels strange, individuals who have lost their lives are indeed considered items in definition.
Hua Huo actually used vines and leaves to tie the other party into the shape of a mummy, and then stuffed it into the space of Yueshan Ding.
After doing all this, Zhou Lu also began to count the harvest this time.
"Speaking of which, why is there a blue dragon on this floor?" Zhou Lu suddenly remembered the little blue dragon that was killed by him in a round-robin battle outside the door, "Isn't it said that this is the place where demon cultivators are imprisoned?"
"This dragon is the spiritual pet of Patriarch Yaoyue."
"Ah? Isn't he an immortal?"
"Can immortals have spiritual pets?" Manman said, "It's not that only spiritual beasts that have signed a beast control contract can be called spiritual pets."
This is true.
The definition of a spiritual pet, in a broad sense, is a spiritual beast that is cultivated by humans to fight for humans.
It's just that signing a contract will be more stable, and there is almost no possibility of spiritual pets hurting people.
And the little blue dragon killed by Zhou Lu is one of Patriarch Yaoyue's most proud spiritual pets.
This point also confirms Zhou Lu's previous conjecture at the Li family banquet.
Immortals can completely cultivate one or two spiritual pets to fight for themselves by cultivating spiritual pets from a young age.
In this way, to outsiders who don't know the inside story, they are beast masters with spiritual pets.
The Li family's contract feast is not uncommon among these beast taming families, and it is unknown how many of them are immortals and how many are pure beast tamers.
This time, Zhou Lu did not look for magic weapons and other items in the ruins.
At that time, his mind was full of clearing the ruins, and then letting Hua Huo complete the growth preparations required for the fourth-level evolution during this period.
And now, even if he does not make growth calculations, he can see from Hua Huo's state that it is likely to evolve.
The materials for Hua Huo's evolution have also been prepared.
Next, it is to go to the Flower Field Secret Realm.
Hua Huo's fourth-level evolution needs to be carried out in nutritious soil.
Among all the known secret realms, the soil of the Flower Field Secret Realm can be said to be well-known for its fertility.
It is said that the soil of the Flower Field Secret Realm could be brought out in the earliest time, so this place has become a popular check-in place for many plant-based beast tamers.
As long as the beast tamer has a plant spirit pet, he will choose to dig some soil here to take back.
Now the Flower Field Secret Realm has long banned the taking of soil out.
Zhou Lu thought about this and began to leave the upper floors one by one.
After becoming a quasi-god, he could let go of his hands and feet a little and do some things.
Zhou Lu had another plan in mind.
